This New York Times profile examines the path that brought men's basketball coach Tim O'Shea to Bryant and to the "most important victory in Bryant University’s short N.C.A.A. Division I history — a 56-54 win Sunday against Boston College, his alma mater."

"Most college basketball coaches are mercenaries, O’Shea says, moving from job to job, town to town, in search of the peace he has found at Bryant," the Times writes. "This was, in a way, his dream."
